Chapter 281
"Fifth Master, Ninth Master..."

Eunuch Jiu was wearing a blue robe and greeted him with a smile on his face: "To the two princes and the princesses."

Now that the ninth eunuch has Liu Quanxi's help and support, it is the time of the spring breeze, Gao Zixuan and the fifth prince are unwilling to offend him, both of them have smiles on their faces: "Eunuch, please get up."

Eunuch Jiu stood up: "The emperor is thinking about who, how many please come with your servants."

He nodded and bowed his head, and kept talking nonsense, but Yuechan and Murong couldn't quarrel.

A few people followed behind Eunuch Jiu, and soon entered the Yongchen Palace, and saw that the Third Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince had already arrived, and many other ministers in the court had also sat down, and each of them was looking for someone they knew. chatting.

Yuechan sat down on the princess's seat, looked around, there were all women with sour faces, she just sat quietly with her head bowed, and didn't take the initiative to deal with these people.

After a while, I heard the shout of "the emperor is coming" from outside.

All the people in the room stood up, and saw Emperor Tianchen entered the hall with a majestic face in bright yellow court clothes, everyone quickly knelt down and shouted long live, Emperor Tianchen stood beside the throne and raised his hand: "Your honor is flat."

Yuechan got up after everyone, and sat down after Emperor Tianchen sat down.

Seeing that the minister of the Ministry of Rites came forward to ask for a play, he dragged out a text, nothing more than a few points, one is that Emperor Tianchen's fiftieth birthday this year should be congratulated, and the other is that the weather has been good and the people live happily in the past few years, this is Tianchen The emperor's credit, three, is that the officials of various ministries, as well as the relatives of the emperor, have discussed and will send some gifts to the emperor.

Emperor Tianchen naturally understood and nodded his head.

Then came the music, which was almost the same as in previous years. It was solemn and joyful, but the rhythm was not fast, and it sounded very gentle. Yuechan thought that this piece could be used as a lullaby.

When Yuechan was drowsy, the song stopped and some beautifully dressed dancers performed.

Naturally, the men were very interested in this, and they all watched with great interest. Why did the female relatives like this, and one by one began to talk about clothing, food and other things.

Yuechan heard that the seventh concubine and the eighth concubine were having a lively conversation there. The two talked about clothing materials, precious stones, and gossip about each mansion, which family's concubine is pregnant again, and which family's first wife can't hold down the concubine , the miscarriage of anger, which family's mother-in-law is vicious, beating and scolding her daughter-in-law, which family's husband is incompetent, and travels between Qinlou and Chuguan all day long.

Yuechan was extremely speechless, just pretending not to know, propping her chin in a daze.

When the singing and dancing are over, it's time for everyone to present gifts.

Starting from the prince, the gifts from the sons of Emperor Tianchen were presented first.

The prince is still the same as before, with extravagant and extravagant gifts, but the gifts are a bit heavier than previous years. On the left, there is a shining golden Buddha and a landscape bonsai carved from a whole piece of jade. It is really gorgeous and elegant. , the extravagance also reveals a bit of literature and art, even if you choose someone, you can't tell what's wrong.

Emperor Tianchen looked at the gift presented by the crown prince, and neither said it was good nor bad, he just smiled and let people accept it, and once again praised the crown prince for his efforts in government affairs.

As if enjoying the prince, Yuechan took a peek at the third prince and the fifth prince, but saw that the third prince was sitting steadily, his face was still frosty, nothing unusual, but there was a trace of jealousy on the face of the fifth prince. This self-cultivation skill, the five princes are not as much as the three princes.

The crown prince presented a gift, and it was the third prince. The third prince walked away with warmth this time. What he presented was medicinal materials and the prescriptions for food and medicinal supplements that Feng Feifei helped to prepare. The medicinal materials were not ordinary medicinal materials. The precious medicinal materials that are hard to buy are extremely hard to find on weekdays, and the Third Prince was able to offer them, which shows that he put his heart into it.

Yuechan glanced at Gao Zixuan's place, and understood in her heart that many medicinal materials were from the south, fearing that it might have something to do with Gao Zixuan's road construction, if the road to the south is built, the products in the south will naturally be obtained, that is Yuechan also knew very well that the road Gao Zixuan built passed through an extremely dangerous mountain range. Although there were many wolves and insects in that mountain range, there were also countless precious medicinal materials. I am afraid that these medicinal materials were obtained from there.

She was thinking here, Emperor Tianchen had finished praising the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince also presented gifts, which were nothing more than the same things, calligraphy and paintings bought with a lot of money, and elegant pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other items.

When it was Gao Zixuan's turn, everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Zixuan, and they saw him stand up unhurriedly, straighten his clothes, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Father, my son congratulates Father on his birthday. Employing [-] laborers, a road running through the north and the south was built in ten days. The minister dedicated this road to the father and emperor, and also allowed the circulation of goods from the north and the south. Go south."

Big money, real big money.

What is the golden Buddha of the prince, what is the medicine of the third prince, and the calligraphy and painting of the fifth prince are even less attractive. What can compare with this real road?

Tianchen Dile flicked his beard straight: "Ah Jiu has a heart."

Gao Zixuan smiled: "Coincidentally, a few days before the father's birthday, the prefect of Penglai Prefecture in Shandong Province stepped up shipbuilding and training sailors in order to prevent pirates. It happened that when they went out to sea, they caught a surprisingly huge fish. The prefect of Penglai did not dare to use it for themselves. Made it and shipped it to Chang'an, and dedicated it to the father as a birthday gift."

As he was talking, Gao Zixuan clapped his hands, and a dozen or so big men carried a huge box in. All the eyes of the hall were focused on the box. When the box was put down, a big man pushed open the lid, and everyone looked inside. Look dumbfounded.

This fish is really big.

Having lived to such a great age, where have all the people here seen such a huge and mighty fish.

The fish is more than one foot long, and it is dead now, but even lying there, it feels tight, and many timid female relatives backed up a few steps in fright, and their faces changed color, and they almost didn't exclaim speak out.

Emperor Tianchen also saw the fish, and he was immediately happy. It was a good omen that such a big fish could be caught. He stood up suddenly, walked to the hall, circled around the fish a few times, and said repeatedly: Hao: "Okay, okay, the prefect of Penglai is very kind, and he was ordered to reward him, ordering him to step up preparations for the navy, and we must wipe out the water thieves."

Gao Zixuan hurriedly bowed down, an official from the Ministry of Officials had already recorded Emperor Tianchen's words, and after the birthday banquet was over, he ordered someone to deliver the decree.

Seeing Emperor Tianchen's face full of joy, Yuechan also breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, her elder brother is also considered to be in the emperor's heart. Even if there is someone who is not open-eyed and wants to make a trip, she has to think carefully about whether it is worth it up.

After Tianchen Emperor finished watching the big fish, he was carried down, and ordered Yu Kitchen to use the meat of this fish to make fish soup for everyone to drink, which also made everyone feel happy.

After finishing the order, Emperor Tianchen looked at Gao Zixuan with a smile, "That's right, Ah Jiu has a heart, and today's birthday gift is the one you gave that suits my heart the most."

In a word, the rest of the lords changed their faces. They dared to say that the things they worked so hard to find didn't suit Emperor Tianchen's heart, and only Gao Zixuan, the troublemaker, gave them good things. As far as the limit is concerned, although Lao Jiu is the youngest son, he can't be too partial to him.

Especially the crown prince, he was the most favored in the past, but Gao Zixuan was born, so his favor was reduced. Now that Gao Zixuan has become more and more favored in the past few years, the crown prince has become a little psychologically unbalanced. It's pleasing to the eye, and what's more, it's also not pleasing to the eye when looking at any personnel who have property with Gao Zixuan.

Seeing Yuechan, the prince sneered, and said in his heart, this bitch, at first he took a fancy to her, she hid, and later married Lao Jiu, I really don't know, it's nothing more than seeing Lao Jiu being favored Well, she was just a serious princess when she married, hmph, just wait and see, when Gu ascends the throne, she will definitely make this little bitch look good.

Taking another look at Gao Zixuan who was full of spring breeze, the prince felt that there was a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't get it out no matter what, unless the thorn was completely destroyed, the heart wouldn't hurt anymore.

Clenching his fist, the prince lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly.

The fifth prince also had a look of hatred, but when he lowered his head, he covered it, and when he raised his head again, he had a gentle smile on his face. He was simply a handsome young man. Who could see his psychological distortion.

After all the ministers offered their birthday presents, Emperor Tianchen waved his hand, and the birthday feast began.

Yuechan was next to several concubines, she looked at the delicacies on the table, and only took a few bites of the bland ones, then put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.

Yun looked at her and smiled: "Ninth younger siblings, this is impossible. Now you are eating alone and two are feeding, how can you succeed if you don't eat? Listen to what my sister-in-law said, no matter how difficult it is, you have to eat more if you are struggling, otherwise... "

Before Yun's words were finished, Murong laughed: "Sister-in-law doesn't know something, our ninth brother and sister, that's a lucky life, others are upset, but just bear with it. I'm so anxious, no, I don't know how much money I spent. I built a road in ten days to transport a bite of food for the nine brothers and sisters. The nine brothers and sisters have all kinds of rare things available. As for the things at the banquet, we think they are very good, and people may not like them."

Yuechan was startled when she heard this, and quickly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before trying to refute.

But on the other side, Huang Yifang sneered coldly: "No matter how nervous you are, what can you do? This person has to have his own understanding. Don't even think about it. There are three sisters in the Meng family, and one of them can give birth to a child smoothly." what..."

While talking, Huang Yifang looked around Yuechan's stomach: "Ninth siblings, your second sister is a pair of twins. It's a pity that the dragon dies and the phoenix lives. Your third sister also gave birth to a brother, who was born as a baby boy." Stillbirth, I look at you, this embarrassing look, the child is enough, some people are not born with such blessings, the child may not be able to be born if it is conceived, and it may not be able to raise it if it is born live."

In a word, everyone was cold, but Yuechan was so angry that her liver trembled a little.

In the past, no matter how cynical and sarcastic, Yuechan would treat it as fart and ignore it, but this time it was different, this time Huang Yifang was clearly using her child as a target, Yuechan couldn't bear it no matter what.

In the previous life, the child did not survive. This was already the deepest pain in Yuechan's heart. She had a child in this life, and she had put all her hopes on this child. She had already planned the future beautifully for the child. Putting all the best things in the world in front of the child, Huang Yifang said that, it was tantamount to cutting Yuechan's heart with a knife.

How could Yuechan tolerate it? When someone else had crossed her bottom line and touched something she shouldn't have touched, Yuechan's cruelty broke out for a moment, and she glared at Huang Yifang bitterly.
